Catering to the needs of modern-day visitors who prioritize sustainability and eco-conscious practices, Disney will has introduced electric vehicle charging stations. Many guests come in hybrid or electric vehicles and having these charging stations addresses a growing requirement for these guests.

However, as reported by Yahoo! Movies, there may be a newly-reported cost that EV owners could have to pay.

Per MouseInfo on X, “EV charging stations found at Disneyland Resort parking lots may have started to charge idle fees for vehicles that remain plugged in, but have reached full battery capacity.”

The account notes that it’s received conflicting information about this development so it’s not entirely clear whether this has happened already and has been introduced, or its yet to make its debut at the Disney Park.

While its not yet certain if this is something electric vehicle owners need to know about, having a heads up about this possibility is always helpful to guests who are going to the Disney Park.

It’s worth noting that idle fees for cars at a charging station aren’t entirely out of the realm of possibility, as they have been seen before. This is especially because if someone is parked in one and not paying for charging their vehicle, there is likely another person who could be availing the service.

For those who are travelling in EVs to Disneyland Resort, best to keep this possibility in mind to plan your day at the parks effectively!
